Sea World









On Thursday 12/30 we headed out to Sea World.  We found a ticket deal that was buy one adult ticket and get a child's ticket for $5, but it had to be used by December 31st.  We had a 2 hour drive to get there and boy was it crowded!!!  But hey we are at Sea World!  I finally got to see my manatee and I was shocked at how huge they are, but very cool looking.  They had a few roller coaster rides, but only Trent and I like the roller coasters and Trent is usually not tall enough yet, so we did not ride many.  Trent and I did however go on the log/roller coaster ride and came off completely soaked.   The kids did go on another roller coaster in the kiddie section.  We went to the dolphin, seal/otter, and Shamu shows.  The problem with so many people was that you had to get in line about 45 minutes before the show was to start, or it would fill up and then you couldn't see the show.  They had a few shows that were special for the Christmas season, it was very fun to see the place all decked out for Christmas...very very festive.  So we saw the Shamu Christmas show, Twice.  The first time it was packed and we had to sit in the soak zone, and yes we got wet, but not as wet as many others.  The show was fantastic and the kids loved it.  It is amazing how they can train those animals to do the tricks they do.  It was a great day, but a long ride home!
